Porteus

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

Yeah there is a problem at the moment with the slacky mirror that is set as default. It is not responding. If you have the latest version of USM (i updated this morning) then you should now have 3 mirrors in this file:

/etc/usm/mirrors-slacky.txt

The first one # EUROPE should be uncommented as it is working fine. I also updated all the ISO's on the server so rebuilding an ISO should work. Unfortunately over 1000 builds were done before I could get the problem sorted.

Thanks Francois. I will develop it slowly and surely and add more functionality. I want to focus on automating the generation of the databases so I don't have to worry about it. Then I can add slackware-current for the slackware users.

@brokenman: I do not want to look too demanding. But I kind of miss debian and fedora repositories. Why wouldn't you hide them in some kind of hidden section for advanced users only. In that section you could put a warning: no dependency resolution provided.

Thanks Bour. In fact there is one uncommented line (73). In any case the slackware patches URL is contained within the slackware database so this file is actually not used but I left it there for future use.
